A gentle drizzle ushered in the eleventh year of Jian'an.

Luoyang City was shrouded in hazy rain and fog, like a fairyland.

Liu Chuang stood on a high platform, standing by the railing, with a bird's-eye view of Luoyang City. This capital, which has fallen into hardship and disaster since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, has now taken on a new look. In November of the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuangqian arrived in Luoyang. Subsequently, on the first day of the first lunar month, he performed a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens on behalf of the Han Emperor, announcing to the world, heralding the re-emergence of the Han dynasty.

Now, Liu Chuangguan worships the prime minister.

And his Prime Minister's Mansion is where the former Nangong was located.

Luoyang is an ancient capital that was established as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, the Western Han Dynasty and Xinmang have built palaces in Luoyang, the first year of Dao Jianwu, that is, in 25 AD, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang, and the rebellion of Dong Zhuo lasted 165 years.

Luoyang in the Han Dynasty, close to the rectangle, nine miles from north to south, six miles from east to west, commonly known as ninety-six cities.

The streets of the city are also quite interesting. There are 24 sections of main roads in Luoyang, and each street is about 20-40 meters wide. It is divided into three parallel roads, and the secretary of state takes the middle road, while ordinary people take the left and right roads, which seems to be quite orderly. In the city, it is divided into two palaces, north and south, and there is a compound road in the middle. Nangong was built in Qin and was the seat of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The North Palace was built in Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, with a cheek larger than the South Palace, and is the place where the Son of Heaven and his concubines lived...... However, when Dong Zhuo moved west, the north and south palaces were in ruins. Today's Miyagi is built on the original foundation.

When Liu Chuang had not yet arrived in Luoyang, Elk Zhu built Liu Chuang and set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in the South Palace.

Why...... It's simple, too.

Only Nangong can meet Liu Chuang's current status.

Even if the Han Emperor did not go north, he could no longer preside over the government. And so it goes. Liu Chuang's Prime Minister's Mansion. It has become a place for discussion. Since it's a political discussion. Then you have to show enough courage. In this case, simply use Nangong as a place for discussion.

After asking everyone's opinions, Liu Chuang decided to adopt Lu Zhu's proposition.

However, he ordered the scale of the South Palace to be reduced, only the three palaces of Qifei, Chongde and Pingshuo were retained, and the Zhongde and Qianqiu Long Live Palaces were cancelled. Zhongde, Liu Chuang didn't like the name; And the Long Live Hall of Qianqiu is slightly inappropriate. After Liu Chuang demolished these two palaces. It was announced that Nangong would be renamed the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the same time, he ordered to speed up the renovation of the North Palace.

Luoyang North Palace, the scale is magnificent.

Long before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, only one Deyang Hall could accommodate 10,000 people.

Miyagi of this scale is by no means something that can be built in a short period of time. Moreover, Liu Chuang was not very satisfied with the scale of Luoyang Palace, and after arriving in Luoyang, he ordered the renovation and expansion of the original foundation of the North Palace, which was expected to take five years. to be able to complete the ...... Anyway, the Han Emperor went to Yanjing, and he never wanted to return to the Central Plains in this life.

"Bo Miao. Where have you been? ”

"Back to the lord, the letter sent by the chief the day before yesterday has passed Handan...... According to their footsteps, no matter how bad it is, they should arrive in Zhongshan at this time...... It is estimated that in a few days, it will enter Youzhou. ”

Lu Yu is now working in Shangshutai, and most of the time he is not by Liu Chuang's side.

As a result, Deng Zhi and Yang Wei gradually took over most of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion from Lu Yu. The reset of the Prime Minister's Mansion indicates that the Thirteen Cao will be reset. This will be an extremely large organization, but fortunately, Liu Chuang is not short of talents now.

As a result, the old Cao family began to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao and others, they also gradually began to take on important responsibilities.

However, Liu Chuang did not ignore the expectations of those old subordinates. Among the thirteen Cao, Liu Chuang's old department accounted for as many as seven people. In a certain way, Liu Chuang's old department still plays a dominant role. At the same time, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others were also entrusted with important tasks. Maybe in the short term, Liu Chuang will not be entrusted with a real shortage, but at least it gives the old Cao family a hope. Liu Chuang must control the balance of the old and new forces...... For this reason, he specially consulted Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others, and even ordered people to go to Yanjing to ask for advice from Fu Zhu and others. Once the degree of this cannot be grasped well, it is likely to trigger the mutual tilting of the two departments, which will affect the overall situation.

Liu Chuang has also read a lot of history books in his later life, and he is not unfamiliar with the mysteries in them.

Listening to Deng Zhi's words, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Majesty, after all, you are a little weaker...... It's just that he went to Yanjing to supervise the war, so why is it so grinding, and he is not happy. ”

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "What the lord said is extremely true. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

Liu Chuang waved his hand, turned around and returned to the desk, "Kong Ming's side, how is it going?" ”

"Back to the lord, since November last year, after Kong Ming's soldiers sent to the military capital, Cao Peng and Xiahou Lan have won successive battles.

Now, Zhang Lu ordered his brother Zhang Wei to defend Yangping Pass to the death, and sent someone to ask Liu Zhang for help. ”

"Oh?" Liu Chuang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What did Liu Jiyu say?" ”

I heard that Liu Zhang originally planned to send troops to rescue, but was persuaded by Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao.

This Zhang Song was originally a disciple of the powerful Zhang family of Shu County, and his brother Zhang Su was the Taishou of Shu County, and he was trusted by Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang listened to his persuasion and gave up the idea of sending troops. However, according to the news from Xizuo, some of Liu Zhang's subordinates were quite dissatisfied with this, and Huang Quan, Fei Shi and others reacted violently, advocating that Liu Zhang should send troops, but Liu Zhang did not approve of it. ”

Zhang Song?

Liu Chuang's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.

This guy finally appeared!

Historically, it was this Zhang Song who introduced Liu Bei into Sichuan...... But I don't know, will Zhang Song defect to Liu Bei this time?

In Liu Chuang's memory, Zhang Song has always been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang.

But he originally wanted to serve Cao Cao, but because of his ugly appearance, he was not liked by Cao Cao.

In fact, although Cao Cao experienced the defeat of Chibi at that time, his vitality was not injured, and he became the prime minister, and he was complacent. He doesn't look down on Zhang Song, and it is reasonable. There is no way, who made Zhang Song's reputation not loud at that time, how could Cao Cao value him? As a result, Cao Cao drove Zhang Song away, but cheapened Liu Bei, which greatly increased Liu Bei's power.

This time, Liu Chuang will never make Cao Cao's mistakes again.

I don't know if Zhang Song will go to Luoyang? If he goes to Luoyang, it will not be an opportunity for Liu Chuang.

"Bo Miao. You've stayed in Nishikawa. To Zhang Ziqiao. Do you know? ”

Deng Zhi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Song is a person who is arrogant and arrogant, and his behavior is debauched.

But if you are good at talking...... If it weren't for the fact that he was a little ugly, he wouldn't have been even more famous. ”

Judging people by their appearance, they lose their sons.

Although the ancients had been vigilant, they made the same mistake. But it happens again and again.

Zhang Song is a very important person, an important chess piece in the capture of Xichuan, and Liu Chuang will certainly not ignore him. But if you can say it...... Liu Chuang didn't quite agree with Deng Zhi's words. Zhang Song is a smart person, but he is very wise...... If he was really talented, he would not have leaked the news, which caused Liu Bei to encounter an accident in Sichuan, and even killed Pang Tong.

A person who is not strict enough, even if he learns well, it is difficult to reuse!

Liu Chuang didn't know either. Will Zhang Song still come to the envoy as he did in history? So his gaze immediately turned to another person. Deng Zhi just said several people. But what impressed Liu Chuang the most was indeed Huang Quan.

"Bo Miao, do you know anything about Huang Gongheng?"

Deng Zhi's face suddenly showed respect, and he hurriedly said: "There are many talents in Xichuan, and Huang Gongheng should be the best among them. ”

"Oh?"

Although Zhi has not lived much in Xichuan, he knows Huang Quan quite well.

This person was a county official when he was young, and later he was recruited by Liu Zhang as the main book, and he was brilliant in resourcefulness......"

Huang Quan, Huang Gongheng!

While listening to Deng Zhi's introduction, Liu Chuang's life flashed in his mind. Historically, Zhang Song led Liu Bei into Sichuan, and Huang Quan was the first to oppose it. As a result, Liu Zhang did not listen, but instead released Huang Quan as the chief of Guanghan, making Liu Bei enter Sichuan.

Later, Liu Bei seized Xichuan, and the counties and counties of Xichuan returned to Shun.

Only Huang Quan insisted on closing the city and knew that Liu Zhang had surrendered, so he surrendered to Liu Bei.

In the history books, or in the romance, Huang Quan was not particularly brilliant under Liu Bei, covering up Zhuge Liang's brilliance. But in fact, Huang Quan established countless achievements under Liu Bei, among which Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong also had Huang Quan's credit.

After Cao Cao's death, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and prepared to conquer Eastern Wu.

Huang Quan volunteered to be the vanguard officer, and Liu Bei sat in the rear, but Liu Bei did not accept it, but asked Huang Quan to go to Jiangbei to guard against the Wei army. As a result, in the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was defeated, the road was cut off by Eastern Wu, and Huang Quan could not be returned, so he finally had to surrender to Cao Wei. But even so, Cao Pi still attaches great importance to Huang Quan. It was even worshiped as the history of Yizhou and moved to Henan.

This is a figure that even Sima Yi praised.

Later, Huang Quan was mentioned in Sima Yi's letter to Zhuge Liang, and he was also quite praised.

"Is there a connection between Bo Miao and Huang Gongheng?"

Deng Zhi was a little confused by Liu Chuang's sudden words.

He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Zhi went to Xichuan, originally admired Pang Xi Gaoyi, so he went directly to Brazil and did not stay in Shu County. When I was in Brazil, I knew a person named Hu Du, who was a fellow villager with Huang Gongheng. If the lord is interested in Huang Gongheng, I can try to let him go and investigate, or there is hope. ”

"Fox Duk?"

Liu Chuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What a weird name." ”

Deng Zhi said: "Lord Mo Xiao, this fox is surnamed Ma, and he is a child of the Ma clan of the Wang clan of Naiba County.

It was only because he was raised in a foreign family since he was a child that he used his foreign surname. This man is ambitious, skillful in arching and horse-wise, and resourceful...... He was previously promoted as filial piety and was used by Pang Xi. When I was in Brazil, I had a lot of contacts with him and had a lot of affection. If the lord is plotting against Xichuan, he can try to contact this person...... If the lord wishes, a letter of wishes. ”

Fox ......

Wait, his real surname is Ma?

Liu Chuang suddenly realized why he was surprised by this name.

Fox Du, Ma Zhong?

This is the general of Zhennan in the late Shu Han period, and it is also a rare famous general in the late Shu Han period of the Three Kingdoms. The reason why Liu Chuang has an impression of the name Hu Du is because of Huang Quan. After the Battle of Yiling, Yan Zhi, the Brazilian Taishou, sent Ma Zhong to meet Liu Bei, so he was valued by Liu Bei. Later, Huang Quan surrendered to Cao Wei, and Liu Bei once sighed: Although Huang Quan is dead, he has regained the fox duke, which is not a pan virtuous in the world.

Although I lost the yellow power, I got the fox duke, and there is no good in this world!

Liu Chuang praised Liu Bei's sunshine very much, and he praised the 'fox duke' so much, which also aroused Liu Chuang's interest.

Later, he carefully checked the information and learned that the 'fox du' was Ma Zhong.

Now, Ma Zhong has not regained his surname, so Deng Zhi is still called by Fox.

Liu Chuang thought for a moment and said softly: "Bo Miao, you can try to contact Hu Du first, and then discuss when the time is ripe." ”

He didn't want to startle the snake, and with Huang Quan's personality, he would never take refuge in Liu Chuang because of the relationship between Hu Du and his fellow villagers. If you take the liberty of letting Ma Zhong go over at this time, you will be startled by a bad deal. He stood up and paced around the room. After pondering for a long time, Liu Chuang spoke: "You immediately send someone to Nanyang to ask Xiaozhi, how is the relationship with Bajun Ma?" If possible, let Hu Du return to his ancestors first, I believe this is also what he is looking forward to the most. Then you get in touch with Fox Du Duo to test his tone and see what he thinks. ”

Deng Zhi immediately realized that he was probably a little too anxious.

Yes, the fox is just a filial piety now, how can he affect Huang Quan? He hurriedly bowed down and said, "What the lord said is extremely true, but Zhi is a little reckless. ”

Liu Chuang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and after comforting Deng Zhi for a few words, he asked Deng Zhi to step back.

Emperor Han no longer poses a threat, and he is about to throw off his arms next...... However, this meal has to be eaten in one bite, and if you eat too quickly, you will choke. In his heart, he also made a decision: in the short term, he will not turn against Liu Zhang.

Even, even if Liu Zhang has any excessive requirements, Liu Chuang will agree.

He had to stabilize Liu Zhang, and then he could free up his hands to clean up Sun Quan and Liu Bei......

By the way, with Liu Bei's temperament, how can he not spy on Xichuan? It's just that he is not strong enough now, and he can't get involved. However, looking at his actions in Jingnan, Liu Chuang believes that Liu Bei will never stop there, and he will wait patiently for the opportunity.

He must not be given such a chance, otherwise......

"Zilu!"

"Whoa!"

As Liu Chuang called softly, Yang Wei stepped into the room.

"You immediately send someone to find Zhongda, and say that I have something important to discuss with him."

Yang Wei bowed down to receive the order and was about to leave, but he didn't want Sima Yi to come by himself...... I saw him with a panicked face, hurried steps, walked quickly to the door, and said in a panicked voice: "Lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" ”

This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived!

Liu Chuang originally planned to laugh at him, but looking at Sima Yi's appearance, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Zhongda, I was looking for you...... You look so flustered, what's going on? Take your time, don't worry! ”

Sima Yi also seemed to realize that he was a little out of shape at the moment.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and then bowed down and said, "Lord, I just got the battle report from Wen Yuan. ”

"How?"

"Three days ago, Zhou Yu suddenly sent troops and attacked Liyang across the river...... General Ziyi, unfortunately died! (To be continued......)
